Stress Management and Wellness
No full textAs finals week approaches, stress is at an all-time high. This presentation was on stress management and wellness. From this lesson, I hoped to provide students with techniques to manage their stress and improve their wellness.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/cor101posters/1038/thumbnail.jp
Getting Involved & Making the Most of Your Time in Cortland
No full textIt is vital for first year students to get on the right track and plan accordingly. College kids are expected to strive academically while balancing that with the new and unfamiliar. It is important for students to be productive by getting involved and doing things that bring them joy. Time flies by, next thing you know you\u27re a senior. There are so many places and things in Cortland that I wish I knew about sooner in my college career.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/cor101posters/1039/thumbnail.jp

Planning Tips and Organizational Techniques
No full textThe topic I chose to teach was Organizational Tips and Planning Techniques. My presentation is about the skills needed to be a successful student at SUNY Cortland and beyond. One study done by Jill M. Gambill, Lauralee A. Moss, and Christie D. Vescogni concludes that the implementation and teaching of time management, organization, and other planning skills increased student\u27s performance in school. (Gambill 2008) The author\u27s say As disorganization leads to lower grades and achievement, students are not prepared for the school side of life. Teachers also found that while some students knew the subject material, their grades did not reflect theirknowledge. Lacking education, skills to display their abilities, and fundamental skills, studentsare not prepared for life. (Gambill 2008) Time management and organization is key in the prosperity of college students, and teaching it early in their freshman year can set them up to maintain a solid foundation for planning. Without these skills, learning can decrease, and a lack of educational opportunity for those students could exist. Being organized will set students up to achieve both academically and in the outside world.(Ventura 2021) Higher education is a large component of the earliest stages of student\u27s adult lives. By showcasing these skills early in adulthood, students will be better prepared for opportunities that present them in the future, whether they are educational or not. If student\u27s do not utilize these skills, they can fall behind, miss assignments, and ruin relationships.(Ventura 2021) This is a behavioral intervention that aid students in multiple facets.(Culver 2020) The goal of my lesson was to increase student\u27s knowledge on the importance and success of organizational, planning, and time management skills, and encourage them to use them in their everyday life.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/cor101posters/1033/thumbnail.jp
Survival of the Fittest (Roommate Edition)
No full textThe topic I chose to teach was “How to Live with a Roommate/Residence Hall Living”. My presentation was based off my experience here at Cortland, and resources available to each student. Being a sophomore, I have lived in a double now for three semesters. In these three semesters, I have had three roommates. My first semester, my roommate and I did not get along at all. My second semester, I moved in with one of my best friends and learned that living with friends can be hard. This semester I roomed with someone I knew from a club I am in involved in on campus, and she has become one of my best friends here.
Living with someone that you don’t know can be challenging and have lots of ups and downs. The goal of this lesson is to learn how to live with someone, how to handle any problems you may be having, and to understand the resources available to students.
In high school, I read this book called the Naked Roommate in this class called Senior Seminar. This class was to help prepare us for college. The author Harlan Cohen wrote a whole chapter about roommates, and it is titled “Roommates: Good Ones, Bad Ones, and Everything in Between”. One helpful tip that he gives is creating a roommate contract...I know for myself, I knew about this and used it to my advantage each semester. If you and your roommate have different classroom and sleeping schedules, then you and your roommate should set a time that is quiet hours in your room that you and your roommate will both respect. For example, 11 PM to 8 AM on the weekdays. In addition, decide with your roommate when each of you can have the room for privacy, set boundaries for each other, etc.
In the book The Naked Roommate, rule number fourteen states that “The Ultimate Roommate Rule The Tip is Respect each other’s differences and make rules before you need rules”. As stated before, a tip that can help is to create room rules together to avoid uncomfortable situations that could become big problems in the future. This could include “things like smoking in the room, overnight guests, sharing food, and cleaning needed rules to avoid big problems” (Cohen 2007).https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/cor101posters/1047/thumbnail.jp
Detecting Intracellular Changes upon Odorant Binding using Transfected Non-Olfactory Cells
No full textOlfaction is a powerful tool that can help humans decipher different scents. Interestingly, the use of olfaction can also be important in detecting toxic or harmful chemicals. Using olfactory receptors (OR), a biosensor can be built off a model similar to how chemoreceptors work within the human body. Interestingly, due to the resilience of cells, biosensors may have the ability to be placed anywhere around the world and serve a similar goal in odorant detection. One factor that is included in the creation of a cell-based odorant sensor, is the cell line being used. Only a limited number of ORs have been studied extensively to determine the different types of tissues and cells the receptor is expressed on. However, through the use of transfection, the addition of ORs onto exogenous cell lines can be achieved. The current study uses a resistance-based model that functions through Electric Cell-substrate Impedance Sensing (ECIS), where changes in resistance are measured after odorant addition. Using cell surface-staining of Hana 3A and GL-1 cells, the surface expression of OR was determined. The use of immunofluorescence when coupled with the detection of random cellular movement led to better understanding of how cells act after odorant addition. Collectively, this study was able to help shape the understanding that ORs can be transfected, and in certain cell lines they can hook up to the intracellular machinery

GIS Analysis of Redlining on Property Value and Urban Forest Composition in Syracuse, NY
No full textWhat impact does the history of redlining have on forest composition and housing value in neighborhoods of cities in New York State? The practice of redlining, or discriminatory lending practices, as evidenced by the 1930’s era Homeowners Owners Loan Corporation (HOLC) maps is well known to have affected neighborhood property values. The web GIS tools from the Mapping Inequality: Redlining in New Deal America project are used here to trace the impacts on housing value, rate of home ownership, and demographic conditions among neighborhoods. These tools are integrated with urban forestry data sources here to examine potential linkages between the legacy of ‘redlined’ properties and their forest composition. A comparison of 2021 property values between formerly redlined and affluent neighborhoods in Syracuse, NY indicated as much as a $100,000 disparity in median home value. These differences are also evident among formerly redlined neighborhoods in extent of tree canopy cover.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/posters/1045/thumbnail.jp
Rocky IV as a Groundbreaking Film (2023-2024)
Get PDFIn this research inquiry example, Croote analyzes a later film in the Rocky franchise in order to argue for its understanding as a groundbreaking film. His argument takes up three major points—that Rocky IV is an effective reflection of Cold War events of the time, that Rocky IV deftly uses sport as a vehicle for its narrative, and that Rocky IV maintains its main message and cohesion within the franchise by entertaining audiences. Within the research and sources cited in this piece, Croote unpacks visual representations of characters, stereotypes and possible propaganda, and the metaphors of training to explore Cold War tensions. Ultimately, Croote also acknowledges but argues against the idea of the film as purely propaganda, but instead a popular film exerting its influence in delivering a slightly different message ahead of Cold War de-escalation.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/rhetdragonsresearchinquiry/1012/thumbnail.jp
